A Post-Apocalyptic Witchcraft Manifesto?

Apocalyptic Witchcraft by Peter Grey is a philosophical exploration of the Sabbat and Wild Hunt as living experiences, which are the core of our ritual practice. The book explores dream, lunar, and menstrual magic as a path to transform the future. Witchcraft does not mistake myths for history but harnesses them to transform the future. Grey’s controversial work, Apocalyptic Witchcraft, has been called the most important modern book on witchcraft, placing it in the context of the sabbat and in a landscape suffering ecological collapse. It stands in the tradition and does not seek to impose an orthodoxy on what is the heresy of heresies. Instead, it suggests a way forward, spanning from pre-history through the witch.
